[lsh from the Gardens” 
"Relay Costa Of Government 


The proposah forsthe be ER Of the’ three prairie provinces of 
Canada into 6né’ large ‘provincial unit recently advanced by Premier Bracken 
of Manitoba, and supported by Hon. Mr.,Justice Turgeon of Saskatchewan, 
does not, it would dppear, command: very: general or enthusiastic support on 
the part of the people in the area affected. It has only aroused a certain 
academic interést-in much; the ‘Same way as’ similar proposals in regard to 
three. much smaller Maritime Provinces have been received at Mu acid 
periods since Confederation. 

This lack of interest in, and, nipebet for, the idea of one hig province 
does hot, however, presuppose a complete satisfaction on the part of the 
people with the present unduly heavy costs of governmental administration 
in this country. That, fliefe4s @ keen and ‘very much, alive interest in this 
larger problem is made manifest in many ways. 

There are, for example,:the proposals before Legisiatursi in certain of 
the Prairie and Maritime Provinces for a reduction in the membership of 
those bodies. In Saskatchewan, at the time of writing this article, a bill 
is under. consideration reducing theenumber of members in the Legislature 

. from.68 to.52.. The effect of such reduction, if it is made effective, will be 
a saving of from-$20,000 to $25,000 & year: ‘Such’ a saving is, of course, 
worth while,—as all savings are whether large or. small,—but, unless accom- 
panied with many other savings in législative and administrative costs, will 
not go very far towards meetnig the objection that we are over-governed in 
Canada. Much more than cutting the size of legislatures must be done, 

The writer is convinced ‘that it is not in the union of two or’three 
provinces into-one, nor in the mere reduction in numbers of the membership 
of legislatures, that substantial and therefore reallyworthwhile sayings can 
be brought about, It is not a few thousands of dollars in the costs of gov- 
ernment in Canada that should be’ saved, but millions. Can economies be 
effected that will save these millions to the taxpayers without impairing 
services to the people or efficiency jn their administration? We believe they 
can. ; 

But mere criticism of existing conditions, even When coupled with ex- 
pressions of beliefs that they can be bettered, is not convincing unless 
accompanied by practical suggestions looking to reforms and a betterment 
of conditions. Anybody can criticize; destructive criticism is: easy, but con- 

“structive suggestion and performance is, an entirely different and a much 
more, difficult. matter, especially as‘all.such action. has to meet and over- 
.come long-established and presently existing conditions. ' 


‘Not in reyolution, therefore, but in evolution, “and particularly at this 
time ‘in. co-ordination of: services, ‘in co-operation between governments lqok- 
ing to an amalgamation of services rather than in an amalgamation of gov- 
ernments..and provinces, is to be found a practical, ready-to-hand: method 
of saving not thousands but hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

To illustrate: Canada with a Federal and nine Provincial Governments 
has ten departments or, bureaus. dealing with agriculture; ten dealing with 
publi¢ health; tem dealing” ‘with, company incorporation, company law, com- 
pany ‘inspection, company, taxation, including banks, railways, loan, mort- 
gage and ‘insurance companies; ten having to do with administration of 
justice; ten levying, or having the power to levy, income taxes, etc., etc. The 
result is, of course, constant conflict of authority, duplication of services, 

- much unnecessary expense, and interference with and the irritation of the 

people generally, ~ \ 

; Everybody realizes the situation, but governments, like individuals, are 
loth’ to relinquish any powers or rights they possess, they are jealous of 
these things and zealous in retaining every atom of control over them, Even 
within a government, it is difficult to re-organize ‘departments to meet 
changing conditions becausé'one department opposes the transfer of any 
branch of its work td another department, and the more highly organized 
and independent a Civil Service becomes, the more bureaucratic does it 
become, * 

To itfustrate again: The enforcement of law‘and administration of 

“Justice within a Province is the duty of the Provincial authority. Hence it 
must have a police force. But the Federal authority is responsible for the 
enforcement of its own Customs, Excise, Immigration, Postal, and similar 
laws, and is responsible for the administration of Indian affairs. Soft, too, 
must have a police force. Then the cities and larger towns are responsible 
for the enforcement of their own by-laws .So they, too, have police forces, 

Four ‘or five years ago the Governmeiit ‘of Saskatchewan entered into 

_an.arrangement with the .Federal Government wherehy they disbanded the 
‘Saskatchewan Provincial Police; and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
a Féderal body, policed the Province in addition to discharging its own 
Federal duties. The Province pays the Dominion a lump sum annually for 

, this work, but it is saying some hundreds of thousands of dollars annually 


"as Compared with the cost of maintaining a separate police force of its own. | 


j Recently Alberta: ‘and Manitoba have made similar arrangements with the 
Fedéral Gévernnient. Thus without any union of governments or legislative 
bodies, without surrender of any Provincial right or authority, without any 
curtailment in service or any impairment jn efficiency, millions of dollars will

New Pyramid Found 


Built. About 2800 B.C. Only the Base

Egypt rocks with excitement over 
a fresh find, A pyramid, built about 
2800 B.C., is discovered in the Gizeh 
sands. Its base, of 5,000. square yards 
makes it rank along with the big 
three. It may contain the sarco- 
phagus of Miss Cheops. Only the 
base remains; the «rest having ‘been 
carried away—perhaps to be used in 
other pyramids. - Ancient builders

more than any other acts quickly and 
surely on the air passages and brings 
blessed help’ and comfort. No home

Historic Sword Sold 


Was Presented fo Sir John French 
After Boer War 

A field marshal’s sword, sheathed 
in solid gold and with a gold dia- 
mond-studded hilt, has been sold to 
the London Bullion Company by per- 
sons taking advantage of the present 
monetary situation to profit by gold 
disposal. It was understood that the 


| sword was the one presented to the 


late Earl of Ypres, then Sir John 
French, after \the: Boer War, The 
blade was presented by the'citizens of 
Kimberley in 1901 in gratitude for the 
action. of the earl, who led a series 
of calvary chargés to lift the slege of 
the city. The'new owners said they

but probably would offer it to the citi- 


zens of Kimberley.

Proposed Water Reservoir 


Suggested Plan To Conserve Moisture : 
In Southern Saskatchewan 


Formation of a large water reser- 
voir at Buffalo Lake by the construc- 
tion of a dam on the Qu’Appelle Riv- 
er, 20 miles from Moose Jaw, was ad- 
vocated by T. C. Main, A.M.E.LC., 
consulting engineer for the Saskatch- 
ewan drouth commission in an ad- 
dress. given at: Moose Jaw. 

Mr. Main’s proposal will be placed 
before the provincial govenment as 4 
recommendation in his report. The 
reservoir would be about 25 miles in 
length and three-quarters of a mile 
| wide. The reservoir would be an ef- 
fective means of conserving water for 
southern’ Saskatchewan, Mr, Main 
sald, " 

He -also suggested, that. despite 
present opposition, the Saskatchewan 
River water diversion scheme would 
go through within the next few years. 

Mr. Main pointed out that the pre- 
cipitation ‘in northern Saskatchewan 
last year was not a great deal more 
than in the south and while the rain- 
fall in the north had been conserved, 
it had drained off rapidly in the 
southern parts.’

Learned Boring Fre Worms 


Method Studied By Makers Of 
London's First Underground =e 
Railways | 
Ship worms, which cause much 
damage to piers and ship timbers, 
taught the makers of London's first 
, underground railways haw to bore 
and line their tunnels to resist water. 
, The worm makes a@ boring about half 
an inch in diameter, lining it with a 
limelike substance to keep out the 
watet in the damp wood in which it 
lives. When engineers made the first 
jattempts at underground passages 
they had difficulty in keeping the 
, water out-of the London clay. By 
studying the ship worm they learned 
. that they could keep the bore dry by 
lining it as they progressed. In bor- 
ing its passage the worm bites away 
, the wood which passes in small par- 
“ticles. through its body.

Predicts Demand For 
Heavy Draft Horses 


Farmers May Find Them Cheaper 
Than Tractor Or Combine 

The present low price of oats and 
other feeds, in contrast with the 
higher costs of gas and oil required 
in tractor operation, combife, as 
the Dominion animal husbandman 
suggests, to-indicate that the horse 
is gradually regaining favor as a me- 
dium of farm power. He predicts that 
the next.few years will see a revival 
in horse breeding and the use of 
heavy draft horses on. the farms in 
Canada, both east and west. As he 
points out, under present conditions 
horses can be bred and reared cheap- 
ly and when they have reached work- 
ing age, the charges for depreciation, 
fuel and repairs are surprisingly lw, 
for the self-oiling engine has nothing 
whatever on the self-repairing heavy 
draft horses. ‘

seems natural to suppose that the call 
came to both Abraham and his fath- 
er at Ur (see Acts 7.2-4; Genesis 11. 
'81) and was reaffirmed by Abraham 
jat Haran. When they reached Haran, 
Terah and Abraham settled there for 
a time, and there Terah died. 

The name “Abraham” (the father 
of a mult.tude, Génesis 17.5) is based, 
, according to Professor Kent, on a 
}similarity of sound to the Hebrew 
‘word “Hamon,” meaning multitude. 
'He deems the two forms, Abram and 
| Abraham, as but dialectic variations 
,of the familiar Hebrew name Abiram, 
meaning the father is exalted (or the

that curse him will be cursed; on the 
other hand, he is admonished to be 
himself a blessing. 

The Call Obeyed, verses 4-6.—With 
Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew and 
with all their flocks and herds, slaves 
and dependents, Abraham, at the age 
of seyenty-five, left Haran for the 
land of Canaan. 


“Details. of the transactions were 
not made public and it was not 
definitely known whether survey 
flights would be made next summer 
over the proposed course,‘ which is by

and the Faroe and Shetland Islands, 

It was announced, however, that 
| the thorough study of the project be- 
ing undertaken will be a preliminary 
step to the actual launching of ex- 
ploratory flights through the north. 

Trans-American Airlines has been 
assisted during the past year in its 
study. of the problem by the noted

HIGHER TAXATION 
IS IMPOSED TO 
BALANCE BUDGET 


Ottawa, Ont.—With axe and tax, 
the Dominion is determined to bal- 
ance its budget. Faced with an in- 
crease in the debt last year of $119,- 
000,000, E. N. Rhodes, ‘Minister of 
Finance, announced in his budget 
speech a double-edged policy of dras- 
tic increases in taxation and unpre- 
cedented slashifig of expenditures. 

New taxes, designed to increase the 
revenue of the Dominion by $55,000,- 
000, were announced as follows: 

Corporation tax increased from 10 
to 11 per cent. : 

Income tax exemptions lowered and 
the entire schedule of taxation in- 
creased. y, 

Sales tax increased from four to six 
per cent., with the list of exemptions 
narrowed. 

Excise tax on all imports increased 
fom one to three per cent, 

Stamp tax on-cheques, money or-

Mob Plays Havoc 


Premier Squires, Of Newfoundland, 
Returns After Recent Flight 

St. John’s, Nfid.—After 24 hours’ 
absence from the city, Premier Sir 
Richard Squires drove up to his office 
in a motor car, rushed up the steps 
and through the door. He was appar- 
ently little the worse for the rough 
handling he sustained while being 
taken from the Colonial Building to a 
private house during the recent dis- 
turbance, but showed the mark of a 
bruise on his right cheek. 

The disturbance responsible for 
the unsettled state of, political affairs 
occurred when delay in admitting a 
deputation from 10,000 citizens, who 
sought to present a resolution asking 
for “proper investigation” of charges 
that the premier had falsified minutes 
of council, worked the crowd into an 
angry mood. , 

Stones were hurled at the windows 
and the police went into action, using 
their batons freely, Chaos ensued as 
thousands of men surged to the build- 
ing’s: doors: and smashed their way. 
into the basement, whence they hurl- 
‘ed office furniture and government 
documents into the street. 

Sir Richard was surrounded as he 
attempted to reach his car from a 
side entrance, but a party led by L. 
E. Emerson, an opposition member, 
and seveal clergymen secured his 
safety in a private home. . Peter 
Cashin twice spoke from:the steps: of 
the building in efforts to quiet the 
crowd, which finally dispersed and pil- 
laged two liquor stores. : 

Lady Helena Squires, who also sits 
in the assembly, was seen to leave the 
building with a bandage about her 
| head, in the company of other mem- 
bers. It was believed she had been 
struck by one of the missiles hurled 
at the windows from the street. —

Appropriation For 
Great War Pensions 


Sum Of Forty-Eight Million Passed 
By House 
‘Ottawa, Ont.—The House of. Com- 
|mons has approved an appropriation 
of $48,000,000 for Great,War pensions. 
The estimate is $2,500,000 ‘lower than 
that of last year, but $4,000,000 
greater than the actual pension ‘pay- 
ments of last year. 
The decrease, Dr. Murray MacLar- 
jen, .Minister of Pensions, aid, was 
more apparent than real. A large 
sum had been estimated last year in 
the belief that a large percentage of 
‘those who had commuted their pen- 
sions would be reinstated. The num- 
bers were not as great as anticipated, 
with the result that the estimate had 
greatly exceeded requirements,

In Alberta 
Cabinet Are Indicated 


Bill To Amend Legislative Assembly 
Act Is Introdiiced 

Edmonton, Alberta.—Changes in 
the Alberta cabinet were indicated by 
Premier J. E. Brownlee in the Al- 
berta legislature through introduction 
of a bill to amend the Legislative As- 
sembly Act. The amendment would 
eliminate the necessity for a. mem- 
ber of the legislature returning to 
his constituency for endorsation by 
the voters after appointment to a 
cabinet post. , 

Re-arrangement of the cabinet w 
planned, the premier said in speak- 
ing to the amending. bill, but he said 
he could not say whether there would 
be any increase in the number of 
portfolios. ; 

There are seven posts in the cab- 
inet as at present constituted. It is 
expected that when~the cabinet 
changes are made, Mr. Brownlee will 
| continue as premier and also take the 
portfolio of provincial treasurer. The 

| post of provincial secretary will go. 
| to some other cabinet member. 

| A new face in the altered cabinet 
.is expected. to be Dr. F, 8. Gris- 
‘dale, M.L.A., for Olds and principal 
of Olds School of Agriculture. He is 
, expected to be appointed Minister of

An international romance culminated April 5 in the marriage of Miss 
Frances Bosworth, a cousin of former vice-president Charles G., Dawes, and: 
Dr, 


DENIAL IS GIVEN 
BY FERGUSON 
TO ALL CHARGES 


Ottawa, Ont.—G. Howard Ferguson, 
Canada’s high commissioner to the 
United Kingdom, appeared before the 
senate’s Beauharnois committee “with 
the sdle object of vindicating his own 
integrity,” he said. Travelling from 
Canada House, London, England, to 
Ottawa, the high commissioner pre- 
sented evidence which, in brief, denied 
any connection between himself and 
the largesse: of Robert O. Sweezey, ° 
former president of the Beauharnois 
Power Company. ’ 

Mr. Ferguson’s’ testimony was 
prompted by the statement made 
some weeks ago by Senator Andrew 
Haydon. Some time early in 1929, thé 
senator had testified, Mr. Sweezey 
had informed him he had a power | 
contract lined up for Beauharnois 
with:the Ontario Hydro Electric com- 
mission, But Mr, Ferguson, then 
premier of Ontario, would not let it 
be signed, according to Mr. Haydon’s 
evidence, until he (Mr, Ferguson)} 
“got $200,000." 

To this the high commissioner gave 
unqualified denial. No conversation he 
had ever had with Mr. Sweezey could 
possibly bear such an interpretation, 
He had met Mr. Sweezey only twice, 
the first occasion at a period long be- 
fore power contracts were thought of, 
and the second when negotiations 
were in progress with Premier Tas- 
chereau, of Quebec, respecting export 
of power. i : 

The “$125,000 in bonds,” given to 
John Aird, Jr., of Toronto, by Mr, 
Sweezey in December, 1929, was mene 
tioned in cross-examination. Mr, 
Sweezey’s evidence was that this 
money was destined for the Ontario 
Conservative Party. Of that Mr, 
Ferguson knew nothting, he said, bee 
yond what he had read in the newsa- 
papers. The high commissioner was 
closely questioned on this point by

_ May Call Special Session 
Parliament Might Assemble In Fall 
To Deal With Tariff Matters 

Ottawa, Ont.—The absence of any 
important tariff changes in the bud- 
get brought down by E. N. Rhodes in 
parliament is giving rise to conjecture 
as to whether a special session will 
be called this fall to deal with tariff 
matters. In Government circles it is 
declared that it is much too early to 
predict a special session. It all de- 
pends upon what develops at the 
Imperial Economic Conference to be 
held in Ottawa this summer. It may 
be found advisable to bring amy agree-

Lives there a woman, in apattment, duplex

and cauliflower because of the odors they 
give off when being cooked? Or who has 
not suffered from: other ‘people. close’ by 
who cooked these foods regardless? 


Canapar entirely does away with. this 
annoyance, \More than that, it actually 
improves flavor and .food value."Gookin 
in Canapar parallels the famous French 
method of simmering and confining food 
and its flavours to the closed casserole. 


Canapar coines in large sheets, in a handy- 
size package. When boiling vegetables 
you simply wet the sheet of Canapar and 
make a bag similar to,a pudding bag. If 
_ you are steaming them you, line your 

steamer with Canapar, arrange. food and 
seasoning, and fold back corners of the 
me apar to prevent steam from dripping

Boiled“ or steamed’ fish’ is fa ricalnoly 
delicious done this way... No fishy odor 
in the kitchen, no gummy kettle to clean. 
When roasting meat, line the pan with 
Canapar. It prevents the fats and juices 


from burning, and eliminates scouring of | 


the pan afgerwards, 


Canapar saves fuel, You can cook three 
vegetables simultaneously in the same : 
saucepan with it, without intermingling 
of flavors, -And it is wie gonomical, 
Just rinse the sheet after using it, hang 
it on the towel rack to dey. -Use it over 
and over again, 

Lots of women use Canapar for a dish 
cloth—it is so silky and satisfactory and 
does not spread lint, This is‘a particularly 
good use if you happen to pierce the sheet

by which he had entered. 


As the latch clicked into its place |

trollable fear, as though his words | 
held: something of prophecy. The 
man‘s dominating personality seemed |

“Then,” he said ,gruffly, “let me 
suggest you revise your methods, The 
woman who plays with Geoffrey 
Burke might as safely play with an 
tnexploded bomb.”. " 

. His voice betrayed him, revealing 
the personal element behind the prof- 
fered counsel. 

Jean glanced at him between her 
lashes. ' So that was it! He was jeal- 
ous—jealous of Burke! At last some- 
thing had happened to pierce the 
joints of ‘his armour of assumed in- 
difference! Her heart sang a_ little 
paean of thanksgiving, and all that 
was woman in her rose bubbling to 
meet the situation, In an instant she 
had recaptured her aplomb. 

“I think I rather enjoy playing with 
‘unexploded bombs,” she © returned 
meditatively.. “There are always — 
possibilities—about them.” 

“There are’’—grimly. “And it is 
precisely against thosé possibilities 
that I am warning you.” 

“Don’t you think it’s rather bad| 
taste on your part to warn me against 
a man who is admittedly on terms of 
friendship with you all?” 

“No, I don’t’’—steadily. ‘Nor should 
I care if it Were. When it's a matter} 
/of you and your safety, the question | 
of taste doesn’t enter into the thing 
at all.” | 

“My safety?” jeered Jean softly. | 
(It was barely half an hour since 
| Burke had inspired her with that sud- 
den fear of him and of his compelling. 
personality!) 

“Well, if not your safety, at ‘least 
; your happiness, ”’ amended Burke.' 


“It's very kind» of, you to interest 
yourself, but really my happiness has 
nothing whatever to,do with Geoffrey 
Burke.” 

‘Ts. that true?” 

He: flashed the question at her, and 
there .was that in his tone which set 
| her pulsés athrill, quenching the light- 
; hearted spirit of banter that had led 
her-to torment him. It was the note 
of ‘restrained passion which she had 
heard. before in his-voice, and which 
| had always’ power. to move her to 
the depths of her being. 

“Betfectly true.” She faltered a lit- 


“lth: :"“But”—forcing herself to a de- 


fiance that was,jn-reality a species of 
self-defence—-“T). fail ‘to see. that«it 
concerns you, :Blaise.’”| bs 

“It concerns me jn no far.as Burke 
is not the sort of man that a woman 
cani.make a friend of. It’s all or 
nothing with him. Ard if you-don’t, 
intend-to give him all, you'd better, 
give. -him—nothing.” 

His.-glance, grave and steady, met 
hers, and she knew then, of a certain- 
ty, that he had witnessed the: scene 
which: had taken place’ in the rose- 
garden, when Burke had held her in 
| his ‘arrns ‘and the flood of his passion 
yhad risen and overwhelmed her, He 
had witnessed that—and had mis-| 
understood it. 

She was conscious of a “fierce re-

Four Murders--- 


Doctor Killed 


. The wounded bandit in custody 


His mark caught him 


Bandit Left His Mark 


On May: 28, 1928, four bandits 
robbed a bank in Lamar, Colorado. 
They killed two officers. -'Then, in 
escaping with a wounded bandit, they 
killed the doctor’ who treated the 
wound, ‘This atrocious crime aroused 
two states to action. 


The leader of the Bang left his finger 
print on the glass of the doctor’s car. 


Police records proved that this mark 
belonged to a robber who called him- 
self, among other names, Jake Fleagle. 
Thus the whole gang was identified, 
and three were hang 

Fleagle himself, after a chase of 
two years, was wounded in resisting 
arrest Txod later died. All because a 
ane touch left its print on a piece 
of glass. 


So You Leave Marks 


This is told to indicate how you 
leave imprints on everything you touch. 
Those imprints are germ-laden. Yeu 
leaye them on the toast you butter, on 
a piece of cake, on a stick of gum. 


The germs in those imprints may 
have been picked up by touching 
things which others touched with con- 
taminated hands, ‘Life Extension Insti- 
tute lists 27 diseases which may be 
conveyed in this way. <A cold, for 
instance,- may be passed to many | ¢ 
people—by a handshake. 


When you carry such germs to your 
food—by a touch—they breed ‘and 
multiply. That is somet ing to think

She was simply furious with him for 
suspecting her of flirting—odious

he chose to think thus of her, let him
